Canapés and bite-sized food work especially well when the event is designed around conversation and social interaction rather than a traditional seated meal.
The Bali Table can help plan a selection based on the length of your event, number of guests, venue, and whether the canapés will be served as a welcome selection, light catering, or part of a larger menu.

Planning the Quantity
The appropriate number of canapés depends on factors such as:
- Number of guests
- Duration of the event
- Time of day
- Whether another meal will follow
- Style of the gathering
- Variety of bites selected
The final quantity should be confirmed during catering planning rather than using one standard amount for every event.
Dietary Requirements
Vegetarian options and other dietary requirements can be discussed before the selection is finalised. Allergy information should always be communicated in advance.
